I contacted Defense News this morning to inform them about the “faux pas” on Barack Obama.
They were quick to respond on the “unfortunate error.” (see e-mail, below)
Although there have been one or two insinuations to the contrary in the “Comments” section, and although there have been plenty of serious (intentional) smears by others against Obama, I do believe that this was an unintentional error. I clearly recall Ted Kennedy’s almost comical misspeaking recently: “Osama bin Laden…ehhh, Osama Obama” when referring to Senator Barack Obama. So, let’s leave it that.
Dear Major de Wind,
Thank you for contacting Army Times Publishing. We were notified of this unfortunate typo this morning and our editorial staff has been made aware of it. Last I spoke to them they were preparing to re-send the Early Bird Brief with the correction in place.
If you need anything else please let me know.
Thank you,
